Synopsis: Looking for Alaska meets Breaking Bad in this piercing novel about three teens, caught in the middle of the opioid crisis in rural Appalachia, whose world literally blows up around them.For as long as Miri can remember it&’s been her and her dad, Poe, in Paradise—what Poe calls their home, hidden away from prying eyes in rural Kentucky. It&’s not like Miri doesn&’t know what her dad does or why people call him &“the Wizard.&” It&’s not like she doesn&’t know why Clay, her one friend and Poe&’s right-hand man, patrols the grounds with a machine gun. It&’s nothing new, but lately Paradise has started to feel more like a prison. Enter Fen. The new kid in town could prove to be exactly the distraction Miri needs…but nothing is ever simple. Poe doesn&’t take kindly to strangers. Fen&’s DEA agent father is a little too interested in Miri&’s family. And Clay isn&’t satisfied with being just friends with Miri anymore. But what&’s past is prologue—it&’s what will follow that will wreck everything. Shining a klieg light on the opioid crisis coursing through this country, Wrecked will have readers on the edge of their seat right up until the explosive ending.
